signed for the purpose Of teaching re-
ligion in the schools. which we cannot
expect to do in the public schools, as
they are designated for children of all
denominations. Then, again, when the
question of depriving the Pope Of lis
temporal power came up, he rather
took position against the Pope in the
matter, which. to say the least, was
not exactly Catholic; and finally, when
this agitation against property in land
arose, he took start against the Church
again. Now the archbishop has dealt
very leniently with DR.. McGlynn, and
given him every opportunity to set
himself right. But he declined to set
himself right, and as the matter was
an important one there was nothing
left for the archbishop to do but to re-
fer his case to Rome. There it is at
present, and Rome must decide it..
Rome does not care for individuals.
The maintenance of discipline is much
more important to her than the infu-
ence of an individual, no matter what
estimation he may be held in by his
congregation"

THERE has just died at her residence
near Tullynamullan, about four miles
from Ballymena, County Antrim. an
old woman, 102 years Of age, named
Jane Agnew, relict of the late William
Agnew. The deceased, like others who
had reached such patriarchal age. was
blessed with excellent health almost up
to her demise, and was able to sit up
out OF bed. as late as November 13. Her
lie OF celibacY was somewhat short, she
having Joined the matrimonial circle at
a somewhat early age, and BY her hus.
band had a large family, the eldest son,
with whom she resided, being now about
70 years old. She was Is years Of age at

Americas financial support may still be
counted upon. Patriotic rishmen who
see ahead are quite as much pleased as
the Tories possibly can be, and predict
the Inauguration of jubilee year by
the restoring of Gladstone to power as
the only loophole by which England
c find it possible to creep out Of the
Irish business. Should that come
about, and Gladstone's friends believe
he anticipates it, he would be Premier
for the fourth time, beating all previous
records in that direction, and he would
have fitting recompense for a public
life that has been considerably longer
than that of the Queen"

The statements printed in the daily
papers few days ago concerning the
alleged insanity of the Gar appear to
be without foundation. Reports re-
ceived recently from official quarters in
St. Petersburg leave no room for ques-
tion as to his imperial majesty's sanity.
The worst can be said is that he is sub
ject to fits of ill temper, under the in
fluence of which he is apt to do things
that in his sober moments he would
never dream of. The Bulgarian pour
parlers between the powers have been
resumed. Bismarck is pushing matters
toward settlement. It is believed
on the continent that Lord Salisbury,
in the face of his own cabinet diff
culties, will be indisposed to prolong re-
sistance to Russia's proposed solution
of the episode.

sUILrDHUV, THE O01NER.

Back numbers of The IRISH STAN
DARD, containing the initial chapters of
s.Sull-Dhuv, the Coiner," can be pro.
cured at this Office. Every one who
has read the story pronounces it the best
that ever emanated from the brain of
that wonderful word painter of the pas
sions and virtues of his countrymen,
Gerald Griffin. 1t may not be generally
known that the father, mother, and
two sisters of this gifted child of story
and song, spent their last days in
America on account of declining for
tunes. They settled in sweet spot in
Susquehenna county, Pennsylvania, not
far from Binghamton, to which they
gave the cherished name OF their old
home by the Shannon, FAIRY Lawn.
From this chosen spot in the compara-
tive wilderness, says an exchange, many
were the fond missiles that went from
his mothers heart to Gerald. She was
a woman of superior mind, and her let
ters while laden with mothers yearn-
ing love for her struggling, absent boy,
are sparkling and entertaining even as
his own. From these facts it will be
observed that the story should possess
more than ordinary interest for Irish
Americans. Z

A TRAVELLING man reports that Rapid
City, OAK, has just received it's first
hearse. He says that after it had been
unloaded from the flat car on which it
arrived, the mayor and city council, the
fire and police departments, and num-
ber of prominent citizens on foot and in
carriages marched to the depot, headed
by two brass bands. Here the process
sion was reorganized, with the hearse
in front, and the march through the
principal streets begun. Hundreds of
people swarmed along the sidewalks,
and many flags were displayed. AT
night there was creditable attempt at
illumination in the business district and
an elaborate display Of fireworks in
front Of the undertaker's shop.

IT has been suggested, says the Bos-
ton Republic. that, since the titled for
eigner matrimonial dodge is about
played out, the adventurous French
men and Italians who wish to recoup
themselves by wedding American heir
esses ought to come over here without
any handles to their names, 1t would
certainly create a sensation in New
York or Boston society if Monsieur this
or Signor that called himself neither
count nor marquis, but frankly declared
himself a fortune hunter. When frank.
ness rises to sublime audacity it is fre.
quently very successful.

Garner for the family and whom he beat
on occasions, was adjudged able to pay
the fine, and actually had to part with g
portion of her stinted wages-Darely
enough to support life-to pay for being
beaten and her children nearly killed by
her drunken, rufian husband" What
can one expect when such a hideous vio'
lation of actual justice is disclosed to
the public, and as an exchange wisely
remarks: .What were the tortuous
paths through which the law was
dragged to become capable of such mall
administration, is almost trifing ques-

IT is stated that the Russian govern

that marked movements Of troops have
been noticed in Bessarabia. This taken
in connection with the fact that grand

in France and other European coun-

of the Governments proclaiming the

LANDLORDS IN THE UNITED STATES

1ANU1VhUO1 LIN LII ON110O 04A400s
1t is noteworthy fact that many
English landlords, who in the past have
made themselves obnoxious to the Irish
people, are accumulating an undue por-
tion of the lands of the United States.
There is scarcely any fear that the land
lord system now prevailing in Ireland
will ever become popular in this coun-
try, still, for the sake Of posterity, we
think the matter should receive the
earnest attention of our Government.
The following partial list of lands held
by aliens in the United States, may
serve to open the eyes Of our people to
the gradual increase of landlordism,
and the evil which it threatens to inf1ict
on the people

REV. DIR. M'GLYNN's SUSPENSION.

REV. DIR. M'GLYNN'S SUSPENSION,
1t is now an established fact that the
Rev. DR.. McGlynn has been suspended
and is called to Rome. Contumacy in
disobeying mandate of the diocesan
ordinary is mentioned as the principal
reason justifying calling for the sus
pens on of a priest from the faculties
of his duties. The New York World
states that the Rev. DR.. is under in
definite suspension, both as rector
and as a priest. In an interview Mon,
day night IN New York city, priest
high in authority in the Archiepisco-
pal diocese and holding close relations
with Archbishop Coz rigan, said:
tsThe stal lements that DR.. McGlynn

THE DEATH OF GEN. LOGAN.

Another of Americas great warriors
and statesmen has passed away. By
the death of General John A. Logan
the United States has lost a valiant
and patriotic son. A sterner man
never faced a foe, nor man of kindlie1
nature never existed than the dead SOL
dier. His life serves as a lesson to the ris-
ing generation as to what can be accom-.
plished by indomitable energy and
pluck in this land Of illimitable posi-
bilities Everything he was he made
himself. Like many more of our states
men who have risen to positions of
honor and trust, he only did SO by
climbing over the rocky precipice o1
self-education, and secured the place he
held in the esteem Of his fellow-coun
trymen by his integrity and rough
honest character. The service General
Logan rendered his country during th'
late rebellion can never be effaced from
the memories of our people who hav'
not been slow to show their gratitude II
the heroes of that great strife. Th,
deceased General was not nearly 81
great a statesman as he was a soldier
but few men combined both qualities il
such an eminent degree as he did. II,
died in almost the very prime of hi
mental existence, and was not at al
ripe in the sense in which nature ma
lures its fruit preliminary to decay
On this account his death is the more t.
be lamented, He had few enemies ant
myriads of friends.

BRITISH POLITICS.

the future policy of the Tory Govern
ment. By the resignation of Lord Ran
dolph Churchill, Salisbury has beer
placed in a very unpleasant predica
ment. but he can attribute all his trou
BILE to his own obstinacy. The latter il
said have offered the vacated seat tt
Lord Harrington, leader Of the Liberia
Unionists, but it is not at all probable
that Harrington will join Salisbury in
the formation of coalition Govern
ment unless he is allowed to give severa
seats in the Cabinet to his followers, te
which, of course, the Tories will never
consent. It would only further demor'
alize the Conservative party, and the
split caused by Churchill's desertion
would be widened.
The opinions expressed on the situa'
tion by the British newspapers of all
shades of party are varied. Many OF
them predict that Gladstone will be in
office again in couple of months, and
many cool headed observers are Of the
same opinion.
An interesting feature of the crisis,
and one that commands considerable at
tention at the present time, is the un-
mistakable advance Joseph Chamber
lain is making towards reunion of the
Home Rulers and his radical followers.
Mr.. Labouchere, whose opinion is al
ways entitled to consid deration, in a let
ter to the press reviewing the minis
terial crisis, and speaking on behalf of
the radical group who act with him, re-
jects Mr.. Chamberlain s sycophantic ad-
vances. In the present state of parties
he thinks Gladstone has no need of
Chamberlain s support, and a coalition
of the Liberal fragments is impossible.
Thus it will be seen that the Judas
Iscariot of British politics has gained
nothing by throwing in his lot with the
Tories. and as T. P. O'Connor in his
cablegram remarks, the near approach
of another Parliament sees him rele-
gated from the front rank of possible
Liberal Premiers to an uncertain place
among the outsiders.
During the events Of the past two or
three weeks, it is matter of much
comment that neither the names of
Gladstone or Parnell crop up very fire.
quently. The former is seriously ill,
and the latter is described by the Pail
Mall Gazette as entirely absorbed in his
Homeric studies. But it is not all likely
that either is so ill, or so occupied, as to
be unaware of the existing condition of
things in Ireland. Their reticence is
construed by the Tory press to mean
disapproval of the "Plan of Campaign"
suggested by Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien. But such a construction is en-
tirely erroneous. The silence main
tanned at this particular time by the
men who have done so much for the ad-
vancement of the cause of self-govern-
ment for Ireland, indicates a resolu-
tion to give the Tories rope enough to
complete the process of self-strangula-
tiOn.
The turn matters have taken is a
source of much rejoicing amongst
the Nationalists, who see that it
makes no difference in what d.
rection Salisbury looks, gloom stares
him in the face. They know that
a house divided against itself must
fall, and that the Tory Government is
now in the throes of death. With a
change of Government and Mr.. Glad
